The "Rokita" reserve is a reserve whose main subject of protection is a fragment of the natural, deeply incised valley of the Rokita River with valuable forest communities. The "Rokita" nature reserve is located in the Skierniewice commune, in the Skierniewice district, on the area managed by the Skierniewice Forest District, the Ruda Forest District, as well as the lands of the State Treasury - the mouth section of the Rokita River. Its area is 14.47 ha, the buffer zone area: 58.18 ha. The Rokita River is a right-hand tributary of the Rawka and currently only periodically carries water, usually only in early spring, after thaws or after heavy, long-lasting rainfall. Most of the time, the valley, which in places reaches even 7 m in depth, remains dry. Water appears in its source section, where increased activity of the European beaver Castor fiber is observed.

A beautiful bridge over the Korabliewka valley, overgrown with flora. Shaded, so good for rest and photo op.

A very charming and photogenic single, great views, we ride along the edge of the gorge and the Korablewka flows at the bottom. However, the parts are very overgrown, tick-prone and without good deet or humor it is better not to go :-). The view more than reflects the discomfort ;-).

Rokita gorge. Leafy forest. A steel footbridge, a bridge over a deep ravine. Filled with water in the spring after a snowy winter. Mysterious, interesting, nice with good access, a place worth seeing.
